Iished the following: "John Smith, alias
Scotty, Pole aged 40 years, was given q
hearing before Magistrate Randall yester-
day morning, on the charge of abducting
two small boys. The prisoner had enticed
the two boys away, under the pretence of
getting them work at cherry picking in

saulted and robbed them of their earn
ings. Through the parents OF the
children information was given TO Magis-
trate Randall, who instructed OonstableH
Murphy and Hollander to make the arrest,
as he was believed to be lettering in
Woodland avenue. Proceeding there,
they caught sight of Smith, who
Immediately fed, but was finally
captured by Hollander and locked
up in the Twenty-first district sta
ton. On examination 1t was found that
he had q razor tied to the back of his
neck and the boys knives in his posses
sion. The prisoner was committed, aud
claimed that, as the boys were under his
charge, it was not robbing them to take
their money, as 1t was earned between
them. He is said to be rough character,
but no other definite charges are known
against him." ~
One of the boys above alluded to was
named Frank Hall, aged IA years, whose
father came here several days ago and
lodged information with the police.
Officer B. II. Smith found the lad on June
10th, and notified the father who came

he earned SIS picking berries, which the

the office was burning, but the frame part
OF tho partition conoeals the safe from the

AN Asrrum SUPERINTENDENT
Arrested for Cruelty NSc@fIuR Help
less Female Imm&toRs

less Female lMm&tons
OsIoAao, June ia special from
Wabash, Ind, says; A sensation wat
created yesterday by the arrest OF Samuel
Meyers, superintendent Miami county
asylum for the poor, on the charge u az
saulting and oruelly beating helpless
female Inmates of the institution. Con
stable Taggert appeared before the
county commissioners at Peru and made
complaint against Meyers. An inyestiga-
ton was Immediately ordered resulting
in the arrest.
The principal complaining witness Is
Minerva Taegert. the feeble-minded sister
of Constable TAggert who has been in
the asylum for about nine years. Misc
TaRqert alleged the most fearful and in.
human treatment on the part Of Meyers
and in evidence showed great welts on
her back and arms, where she said she had
been beaten by the superintendent. sht
has barely escaped with her life.
The alleged brutal assaults made BY
Meyers have been wholly unprovoked 40
oording to the testimony Of others. En-
boldened by the story Of the Taggert cir
and the arrest Of Meyers, several otheI
helpless female inmates Of the asylum
have made similar statements and exhib
tied their bruised and blaokened limbs ne
evidence of the treatment they have re
eeived. Meyers will be tried.

Now YORK Times
The pow-wow raised by General Fair
child, Gov. Foraker, the New York 1rf.
6lne, and the Cincinnati Gazette over the
flags surpasses in extent and bitterness
any exhibition of "war spirit" in the
South for the last 10 years. What the
South thinks OF the matter may be in
ferred from the following comments Of
the Atlanta Constitution GAS to the
Confederate flags We may say that the
Contederaoy is dead and does not need
them. The whole business is bubble
that needs only 10 be looked at in COM
nonsense way. There are fools at the
North and fools OF the South. Between
these the nation must steer. Those who
captured the Confederate flags had CON
siderable fighting to do, and they are en-
titled to keep them. Wherever they art
kept they are evidence of the valor o.
both sides" The "embers of the rebel
lion" are now nowhere visible save in the
camp-fires which Gen. Lucius Fairchil(
is engaged In poking.
